A Virginia Democratic congresswoman who was a reluctant supporter of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump found herself in the middle of a tense town hall on Sunday when she explained her position on the matter.
Constituents in Rep. Abigail Spanberger's moderate district -- she unseated Republican Rep. Dave Brat last year -- who both supported and opposed the impeachment effort shouted at times during the event in Spotsylvania, Virginia. She was discussing her record and instances when she voted against House Democratic leadership when a few audience members interrupted and told her to move on to impeachment. "My opinion of our inquiry is mine and mine alone. No one has pressured me to vote in any particular way from within the party. And I will not be pressured to vote in any particular way," she said. "The allegations against the President are incredibly, incredibly serious."
"They're bulls***," one attendee said as another shouted that "it's crap."
"It's a lie, it's all a lie," an attendee said, a remark Spanberger responded to by highlighting the various House hearings held as part of the inquiry. "Those witnesses have all affirmed and all agreed on what happened," she said. "That the President sought to use military assistance ... as leverage to get a foreign government to do what he wanted."
"It's all lies, it's all lies," an attendee yelled, cutting off the congresswoman, who is visibly frustrated with the crosstalk.
As House Democrats push ahead with their case against Trump, moderate Democrats in swing districts such as Spanberger will be especially vulnerable in next year's election.

Get used to it, bitch. The blowback for this and your party’s assault on the 2nd Amendment will cost you big time next year.
And yet Biden openly, in a public forum, admitted he pro quo quo’ed Ukraine. So move on this, Representative.
There should be a major ad campaign going after every one of these Democrats. If the RNC can, get them up on billboards close to malls so people can see them. Also local ad buys.
Lot’s of ‘useful idiots’ in that district - gonna be hard to win back
even better...Biden and son commit to pure corruption....yet they impeach the guy who asks about it....unreal.
I think it’s mighty kind of the younger Democrat politicians to sacrifice their futures to try and save the old, criminal Democrat leaders.
Put through the translator:
"I was told to vote to impeach. And maybe I can still convince a few of you rubes that the bogus shampeachment isn't".
Who’s running against her?
There could be quid pro quo agreements, to use that phrase, that if these Democrats in tough districts vote to impeach, that favors will be done, jobs lined up, etc. once they have been defeated for re-election. It’s been known to happen.
They should break away, from Northern Va, just as West Virginia did during the Civil War. 8>)
I sometimes wonder how our politics would look, if this could happen across the country.
The rest of Virginia could secede from Northern Virginia. The rest of Illinois could secede from the Chicago area.
Suppose upstate New York could secede from New York City and Long Island?
Slice out Philadelphia from the rest of Pennsylvania, and the remainder of PA would be very red.
Excise Detroit from the rest of Michigan, and there would be no doubt about which party would be in charge of Michigan.
Sure.
And those Democrats that are behind bars could also be their pen pals.
The next Congressman from the 7th District.
https://mcguire4congress.com/meet-john/
John is no stranger to tough races and knows what it takes to win. In 2017, John won a 6-way primary for VA House of Delegates District 56 and went on to win the general election by 20 points in a year where few Republicans were victorious.
In 2019, another tough year for Republicans in the commonwealth, John won re-election by 21 points. He has raised over $500k during his races in 2017 and 2019.
John’s district lies entirely within VA-07, including parts of Louisa, Goochland, Spotsylvania and Henrico counties.
John McGuire was born and raised in the district. Raised in Henrico County, and residing in Goochland County, John overcame spending time in foster care and went on to graduate from Henrico High School in 1988.
Following graduation, John’s call to service lead him to the U.S. Navy. John served for ten years as a U.S. Navy SEAL before settling back down in Virginia where he founded a small business, SEAL Team PT Inc., a fitness company. Now more than two decades later, that company helps train Division 1 athletes and corporations all over the world.
As a Delegate in the General Assembly, John has been backed by many conservative organizations because of his strong conservative voting record:
Endorsed by the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) and earned a 100% rating
Given the American Conservative Union (ACU) award for conservative excellence by Matt Schlapp
Endorsed by the National Federation for Independent Business (NFIB)
Endorsed by AGPAC
Endorsed by National Right to Life (NRL)
Endorsed by the Virginia Society for Human Life (VSHL)
Endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and received an A rating
Endorsed by the Family Foundation and received a 100% rating
Endorsed by the Virginia Chamber of Commerce (VCC) and received an A+ rating
The only thing they affirmed and agreed on was that they heard something from somebody who was told something by somebody else.
So why the disconnect from the headline? 8>)
the two-faced bitch who talks out of both sides of her ass should be gone regardless.
They can all take solace that when they are defeated the media will anoint them as brave citizens of conscience who should be revered for their sacrifice. Then forget about them the next day.

Given I reside in Virginia and have for many decades, it is utterly sad and pathetic to see how the libtard and progressive idiots have so infiltrated and wrecked a once great state......
Nobody has yet to challenge Elaine Luria, VA-02.
I’m going to see if I can scrape together a donation.
